When you’re a parent, every milestone in your kids’ life is the most important thing in the world – just ask Jeff Brazier.

The father-of-two filmed a short video for his Twitter followers today, to share the news that his youngest son Freddie has started his first ever job.

And Jeff, 39, looked like he was going to burst into tears as he told his fans how proud he was of his lad.

Jeff has two sons from his late partner Jade Goody – Bobby, 15, and Freddie, 14.

And the TV presenter took to social media this morning to tell his 480,000 followers that Freddie had started a new job working in a café.

Sitting in a car, he told the camera: “I’ve just dropped Fred off to his first Saturday job, so I’m feeling really proud. A little bit emotional. A little bit like I just want to watch him for an hour before I leave.

“But I know he’s going to be absolutely fantastic.

“The kid’s got so many amazing traits, and it’s about time that he started unleashing them on the world. So today’s the first step of that, I think.

“I think it’ll open up a whole new world for Fred, and his sense of pride, self-belief and confidence are going to go through the roof. So, brilliant!”

The video has already been watched more than 23,000 times, and many fans have been moved to comment on the cute clip.

One follower told Jeff: “You’re all that a father should be.”

Earlier this week, we reported that Jeff’s oldest son Bobby was taking his GCSEs.

In a candid Instagram post, the 15-year-old told his followers “Chemistry is not my cup of tea.”

Bobby and Freddie’s mum Jade Goody tragically died in 2009, leaving Jeff to bring them up on his own.

However, last year, the Essex-born star married his girlfriend Kate Dwyer, who now lives with Jeff and the kids.
